Unfortunately it could be anything. One of the most common issues with the ML is that the crank position sensor goes bad. But if this were to happen the symptoms would be your car turns on, but when it heats up it would turn off and not turn on till the car was cool again, but you would go through that issue again. Who knows what it is until you get it checked out. You may or may not be able to drive long distance depending on the problem.

Take it to Auto Zone! They will pull the code (codes) and you can go from there. Auto Zone dose not charge for this service.
